Remember this behemoth? Perhaps you tripped over it on your doorstep. After all, this sucker must weigh close to 10 pounds. It could act as a structural support for your house, right? All delivery people probably cursed it to the hot country and back.
After listening to everyone wail about how much Restoration Hardware must hate the Earth and all that stuff, I decided to do a quick comparison with another retailer of home goods.
On the left is the once-a-year catalog dump from that company which must really like killing trees. On the right is Pottery Barn, minus 2 of its monthly editions, some random specialty issues, and all of their spin-offs (PB Teen and PB Kids and who knows what else). Maybe it's not a surprise to you, but I got curious about whether RH deserved the chiding.
So... depending on how you look at it... both retailers (as well as probably many others like J. Crew) tie for, well, sending us an annual catalog collection worthy of some bench pressing.
Did you receive RH's bundle? What was your reaction?
